One of the joys of being that far out of town is the lack of light pollution. I finally had a chance to try my starry skies setting on my camera. I forgot my tripod (well, BF’s tripod), so the best shots were definitely the ones I had laying on the deck rail. Still, even the ones I angled, but steadied against something were pretty good. I can’t wait to try this out again with a tripod.
The bright star in several of the pictures is Jupiter. My father had his telescope out, so we were able to see its three largest moons.
